My name is Tom Ciciura. I'm the owner/operator of 2nd Cine, Inc. We provide motion picture equipment and services: grip and lighting equipment, cameras, lenses. What I really love to do is I love giving my crew a check at the end of the day. That's my favorite part, really. Every location is different and provides its own challenges so being able to get in and unload and get out is key.

Wow! I could get to everything here so I probably could do more maintenance myself. That's great. Any way to save money is great.

I like the way this looks a lot, I like the, you know, the design of it. If this is our camera vehicle we would have a platform on top so we could get up higher like maybe shooting certain kinds of events. [*]

Wow. My guys are six feet two, six feet four. Being able to get in and out without having to bang their heads, that sells itself. Oh I like this. Oh yeah, now we're talking. Having this low step here is great. I love this, this hundred and twenty volt outlet right at the back of the tailgate is perfect. I could power batteries. I could run a small light.

Well, I don't know if you've seen my other vehicle but this is luxurious. And this is great, you know. Coffee in the morning, water for the drive home. AM/FM radio with CD player. I like that. Oh cool. Oh wow, lots of room in there. You could put your laptop in there, pens, business cards. Oh yeah, another hundred twenty volt outlet[*]. That's great. Charge the laptop right there. I could see this being a good vehicle for a huge number of businesses. You know, delivery van, florists. I mean, you can really see this vehicle, it's versatile. It has a lot of different uses.

This would be great for my camera gear. I could get in and out quickly. It holds a lot of stuff. Here's the ultimate test: can I do a U-turn in? Wow...didn't even scrape a curb. I really wasn't expecting to find all these small business features really, like the GPS, a place to store your laptop, have A/C power, one hundred and twenty volts. Those are real big surprises, and I like them. I like it a lot.
